And I have a problem with the belief that some leaders hold that suggest they have the right to use violence and intimidation in order to force people to adopt a particular form of government, ie democracy. Ok.. then surrender all of your rights and privileges to your local governmental representatives. Tell them that they had NO RIGHT to coercively inflict those constitutional rights that you were graced with by virtue of being an American (assuming you are). I'm sure there are plenty of people who would love to dominate your life, oppress your hopes and aspirations, and exploit your talents... Especially since you seem to believe that the right to OPPRESS one's fellow man should not be infringed upon. Nope.. no inalienable rights. No accountable government. No freedom of religion.. All because folks with your perspective believe that Democracy is an oppression of the hopes of mankind. Folks like me believe that democratic values, and government accountable to its citizens, is the ONLY FORM of legitimate government. We believe that you can not coerce or oppress by promoting democracy, but only FREE people from such oppression. Every other kind is nothing more than a manifestation of the "top dog" phoenomena of natural law. Do you propose a return to a political "state of nature" for our country? en.wikipedia.org Hawk
